Council member thrown out of Yazd City Council for being Zoroastrian

April 8, 2018
Sepanta Niknam
FacebookTwitterEmail

Only two days remain before Sepanta Niknam is dismissed from the Yazd City Council for being Zoroastrian. However, the Expediency Council remains silent about this issue. The first meeting of the Expediency Council will be held after the Nowruz holiday two days after his dismissal. Therefore, under the excuse of Nowruz holidays, the case has been announced as closed regarding his dismissal…

Apparently, Sepanta Niknam’s dismissal from the Yazd City Council is only because he is a Zoroastrian and has been finalized upon the decision of the Guardian Council and the silence of the Expediency Council.
